Summary of Test Method3.1 A crude oil distillation is performed to obtain thenaphtha cut at 204C (400F). The distillation method wasadapted from Test Method D
9、86 for the distillation of petroleumproducts. The naphtha cut is washed with caustic, repeatedlywhen necessary, until all hydrogen sulfide is removed. Thenaphtha cut, free of hydrogen sulfide, is then washed withwater, repeatedly when necessary, to remove inorganic halides(chlorides).3.2 There are t
10、wo alternative test methods for determinationof the organic chloride in the washed naphtha fraction, asfollows.3.2.1 Test Method A, Sodium Biphenyl Reduction andPotentiometryThe washed naphtha fraction of a crude oilspecimen is weighed and transferred to a separatory funnelcontaining sodium biphenyl
11、 reagent in toluene. The reagent isan addition compound of sodium and biphenyl in ethyleneglycol dimethyl ether. The free radical nature of this reagentpromotes very rapid conversion of the organic halogen toinorganic halide. In effect this reagent solubilizes metallicsodium in organic compounds. Th
12、e excess reagent isdecomposed, the mixture acidified, and the phases separated.The aqueous phase is evaporated to 25 to 30 mL, acetone isadded, and the solution titrated potentiometrically.3.2.2 Test Method B, Combustion and MicrocoulometryThe washed naphtha fraction of a crude oil specimen isinject
13、ed into a flowing stream of gas containing about 80 %oxygen and 20 % inert gas, such as argon, helium, or nitrogen.The gas and sample flow through a combustion tube main-tained at about 800C. The chlorine is converted to chlorideand oxychlorides, which then flow into a titration cell wherethey react
14、 with the silver ions in the titration cell. The silverions thus consumed are coulometrically replaced. The totalcurrent required to replace the silver ions is a measure of thechlorine present in the injected samples.3.2.3 The reaction occurring in the titration cell as chlorideenters is as follows:

Hydrochloric acid can be produced inhydrotreating or reforming reactors and the acid accumulates incondensing regions of the refinery. Une
19、xpected concentrationsof organic chlorides cannot be effectively neutralized anddamage can result. Organic chlorides are not known to benaturally present in crude oils and usually result from cleaningoperations at producing sites, pipelines, or tanks. It is importantfor the oil industry to have comm
20、on methods available for thedetermination of organic chlorides in crude oil, particularlywhen transfer of custody is involved.5. Interferences5.1 Test Method AOther titratable halides will also give apositive response. These titratable halides include HBr and HI.5.2 Test Method BOther titratable hal
21、ides will also give apositive response. These titratable halides include HBr and HI(HOBr and HOI do not precipitate silver). Since these oxyha-lides do not react in the titration cell, approximately 50 %microequivalent response is detected.5.2.1 This test method is applicable in the presence of tota

Some testunits can require heating to thoroughly homogenize.(Warning When heating is required, care should be taken sothat no organic chloride containing hydrocarbons are lost.)10. Preparation of Apparatus10.1 Clean all glassware by rinsing successively with
36、 tolu-ene and acetone. After completing the rinse, dry the glasswareusing a stream of dry nitrogen gas. Obtain and record themasses of the round-bottom flask and receiving cylinder.Assemble the glass distillation apparatus using stopcock greaseto seal all joints and wire clamps to prevent loosening
37、of thejoints. Adjust the thermometer position within the adapter teesuch that the lower end of the capillary is level with the highestpoint on the bottom of the inner wall of the adapter tee sectionthat connects to the condenser.NOTE 1A diagram illustrating the appropriate positioning of thethermome
38、ter can be found in Test Method D86.10.2 Form the copper tubing into a coil to fit inside thereceiver flask, leaving room in the center of the flask for thereceiving cylinder. With the PVC tubing, connect one end ofthe copper coil to the water source, and connect the other endof the coil to the lowe
39、r fitting of the Liebig condenser coolingjacket. Connect the upper condenser fitting to the water drain.Fill the receiver flask with an ice/water mixture, and turn on thewater. Maintain the temperature of the condenser below 10C.11. Procedure11.1 Add a 500-mL crude oil test specimen to tared roundbo
40、ttom flask. Obtain and record the mass of the crude oil-filledflask to the nearest 0.1 g. Connect the flask to the distillationapparatus. Place the heating mantle around the flask, andsupport the heating mantle/flask from the bottom. Connect theheating mantle to the variacs. Turn on the variacs and
41、start thedistillation. During the distillation, adjust the variac settings togive a distillation rate of approximately 5 mL/min. Continuethe distillation until a thermometer reading of 204C (400F) isattained. When the temperature reaches 204C (400F), end thedistillation by first disconnecting and re
42、moving the receivingcylinder. After the receiving cylinder has been removed, turnoff the variacs and remove the heating mantle from the flask.Obtain and record the mass of the receiving cylinder anddistillate.11.1.1 The precision and bias statements were determinedusing mercury-in-glass thermometers
43、 only. Therefore, whenalternate temperature measuring devices are used, the cut-offtemperature so obtained shall be that which will produce anaphtha cut similar to what would be yielded when mercury-in-glass thermometers are used. Such alternate temperaturemeasuring devices shall not be expected to
44、exhibit the sametemperature lag characteristics as mercury-in-glass thermom-eters.11.2 Transfer the naphtha fraction from the receiving cylin-der to the separatory funnel. Using the separatory funnel, washthe naphtha fraction three times with equal volumes of thecaustic solution (1 M KOH). Follow th
45、e caustic wash with awater wash, again washing three times with equal volumes.The caustic wash removes hydrogen sulfide, while the waterwash removes traces of inorganic chlorides either originallypresent in the crude or from impurities in the caustic solution.After the washings are complete, filter
46、the naphtha fraction toremove residual freestanding water. Store the naphtha fractionin a clean glass bottle. This naphtha fraction can now beanalyzed for organic chlorides by either sodium biphenyl orcombustion/microcoulometric techniques.11.3 Measure the density of the crude oil specimen and thena
47、phtha fraction by obtaining the mass of 10.0 mL (using a10-mL volumetric flask) of each to the nearest 0.1 g.12. Calculation12.1 Calculate naphtha fraction as follows:f 5 Mn/Mc(3)where:f = mass fraction of naphtha collected,Mn= mass of naphtha collected, andMc= mass of crude oil specimen.12.2 Calcul
48、ate the density as follows:Density, g/mL 5 m/v (4)where:m = mass of sample specimen, g, andv = volume of sample specimen, mL.TEST METHOD ASODIUM BIPHENYLREDUCTION AND POTENTIOMETRY13.

49、turers instruc-tions for the care of electrodes shall be followed.13.1.1 Glass, general purpose. When glass electrodes are incontinuous use, weekly cleaning with chrome-sulfuric acid(WarningStrong oxidizer; can cause severe burns; recog-nized carcinogen), or other strongly oxidizing cleaningsolution, is recommended.13.1.2 Silver-Silver Chloride, billet-type.13.2 Titrator, potentiometric.
